Harrow secured their place in the semi final of the Middlesex Cup with a fairly comfortable win at home to Uxbridge on Sunday. Uxbridge won the toss and decided to bat, but were never allowed to settle thanks to a fine spell from in form opening bowler Michael Vosloo (3-36) who dismissed the top three batsman. Thereafter the Harrow bowlers kept a tight lid on the scoring rate as spinners Avinash Karia (1-30) and Ajay Patdiwala (1-35) continued to restrict Uxbridge even into the slog over’s. Harrow lost a couple of early wickets but a fluent 51 from opener Dave Walker seemed to have settled the nerves until a couple of quick wickets fell to leave Harrow at 105-4. But middle order batsman Ajay Patdiwala (44) and captain Suk Bhupal (31) combined in a calm 75 run partnership to ward off any danger of an upset. Despite a couple of late wickets, Harrow ran out winners by slightly more comfort than the 3 wicket margin would suggest. A semi final berth now awaits against either Teddington or Richmond.
